Hartford City FC signed defender Pat Boucher and goalkeeper Hami Kara to contracts on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Boucher, who recently played with Western Pro Soccer Club, was named to the 2015 ASL All-Star team after playing every minute for the Lusitanos during the 2014-15 season. He previously played for the Western Mass Pioneers, and CFC Azul (now AC Connecticut). <\/p>\n

\u201cPat is a dynamic player whose strengths are suited to the indoor game,” Hartford City FC head coach Paul Wright said in a team release. “We feel he will contribute right away with his 1v1 attacking abilities and the intensity he brings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kara, who trialed for a trio of Turkish clubs between 2012 and 2013, also spent time in preseason camp with the Columbus Crew. He most recently suited up for the Pioneers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHami is an excellent shot-stopper and he\u2019s very comfortable with the ball at his feet,” Wright said. “He could be very successful in this league.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hartford City will kick off its inaugural season on Nov. 8 against the Chicago Mustangs at the XL Center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
